BBC >> Tetris - From Russia With Love

A hard to find documentary about Tetris and its creator Alexey Pajitnov. Also covers the rivalaries between Nintendo and Atari and the ... all » absurdities of buying copyrights for software from a country that doesn't believe in property, much less intellectual property. Ultimately, a great documentary about a very important game.

How To Make Anything Look Like a Toy?

Artist Olivo Barbieri

To create this effect, Barbieri uses a tilt-frame camera to shift the plane of focus so that it is out of alignment with the film. Normally, this allows wide-angle aerial views to be captured in proper perspective. But used incorrectly, an optical illusion occurs.

Amazing road trip to toronto

Last Friday I played tour bus driver for my friends in the montreal based group Harvee. Tdot was the destination, fun was the objective, exhaustment was achieved! A couple of them had never seen the queen city from above... The CN tower.

After getting robbed on the cab fare we got to see the clouds smile at us and reveal the sun they had been hiding. here's a photo i took from the observation deck.

Amazing new HP ads... (ok not that new)

HABS to the playoffs!! By the skin of their teeth...

Last regular season game tonight... It should be a goaltender duel even though Brodeur is not what he used to be anymore. I'll be tuning in fo' sho'. My prediction Mtl wins 5-3.

Top 5 lyrics from a VH1 poll

  1. U2 - One. "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers."
  2. The Smiths - How Soon is Now? "So you go, and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die."
  3. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit. "I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us."
  4. Bob Marley - Redemption Song. "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds, have no fear for atomic energy, 'cause none of them can stop the time."
  5. Coldplay - Yellow. "Look at the stars, look how they shine for you."
